History

During the Warring States period, the area of present-day Fengrun District belonged to the Yan State.[3] In the Qin dynasty, the area was incorporated as part of the Youbeiping Commandery.[3] During the Western Han dynasty, the area belonged to Tuyin County (simplified Chinese: 土垠县; traditional Chinese: 土垠縣; pinyin: Tǔyín Xiàn), Xuwu County (simplified Chinese: 徐无县; traditional Chinese: 徐無縣; pinyin: Xúwú Xiàn), and Changcheng County (simplified Chinese: 昌城县; traditional Chinese: 昌城縣; pinyin: Chāngchéng Xiàn).[3] During the Northern Qi dynasty, Tuyin County was abolished, and merged into Wuzhong County (simplified Chinese: 无终县; traditional Chinese: 無終縣; pinyin: Wúzhōng Xiàn).[3]

In 1187, during the Jin dynasty, the area was reorganized as Yongji County (simplified Chinese: 永济县; traditional Chinese: 永濟縣; pinyin: Yǒngjì Xiàn).[3] In 1209, Yongji County was reorganized as Fengrun County, which it remains today, although some put the date of this change at 1368, during the Ming dynasty.[3]

People's Republic of China

In 1983, Fengrun County was placed under the jurisdiction of Tangshan.[3]

On February 1, 2002, Fengrun County was upgraded to a district, and absorbed the now-defunct Tangshan New Area (Chinese: 唐山市新区).[3]

On January 28, 2011, three administrative villages from the town of Chahe were transferred from Fengrun District to the town of Fengnan (now Xugezhuang) in neighboring Fengnan District.[3]

In June 2013, Tangshan's municipal government moved the town of Hancheng [zh] from Fengrun District to neighboring Lubei District, and the town of Laozhuangzi [zh] was moved under the jurisdiction of the Tangshan New Technology Development Zone.[3] In December 2013, the municipal government moved the remainder of Chahe to Fengnan District.[3]
